The rain is not over...at the surface...the persistent trough will remain draped across the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and northern Florida with the High pressure ridge to our south. The Southwest flow continues with these features in place and with continuing deep moisture across the region...expect scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms starting over the Gulf and spreading across the area for this weekend We will stay in the south west wind for the next few days with similar rain chances each day. This is a pattern where showers in the morning are possible along the coast and with a trough of low pressure in the mix, the rain chances will stay similar each day. The motion of the storms should keep the rainfall totals to half inch or less but isolated amounts of twice that or more are possible.

Sarasota - The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for much of the Suncoast. A low pressure system developing along a stalled frontal boundary over Central FL will bring additional rainfall amounts up to 4-6 inches through the weekend.

VENICE, Fla. -- Two deputies are recovering from minor injuries after being attacked by a man who says his sole intent was to force law enforcement to shoot him.

Sarasota County Sheriff's deputies responded to the Bealls on South Tamiami Trail in Venice on Tuesday for a reported shoplifter. After concluding their investigation deputies attempted to arrest the suspect. Deputies say he resisted, struck both deputies and tried to take their guns during the struggle.

He was unsuccessful and deputies deployed their Tasers to gain compliance and take him into custody.

24-year-old Joshua Roberts of Sarasota has been charged with Resisting Arrest with Violence; two counts of Attempted Unlawful Taking, Possession or use of Law Enforcement Officer's Firearm; and Petit Theft.

Roberts was first taken to Venice Regional Bayfront Health and later booked into the Sarasota County Jail. He is currently being held on $6,120 bond.

According to the sheriff's office, Roberts has only been in Florida for three months but has been arrested twice already. The first was a March arrest for a retail theft and then for a criminal mischief incident in Venice Friday night. He was released on bond Sunday.
